Biomarkers of aging: expression and regulation

The First International Congress on Biomarkers of Aging: Expression and Regulation, held at the Bologna University School of Medicine on July 1991, attracted more than one hundred and fifty scientists from Europe, United States and the Middle East. The Congress was a satellite meeting of the 4th International Congress of the International Association of Biomedical Gerontology held in Ancona, Italy…From these dissertations, a picture of the state of the art regarding the gerontological research is provided for gerontologists and geriatricians which are involved in the tremendous effort of understanding and modulating the mechanisms governing the senescence of the organism.(dalla Prefazione, di Federico Licastro e Claudio M.
